First step removing the ole 6.2

then prepping the rear of the truck for the 64" spring swap

The 12 valve should make plenty of power

Sweet build plan, good luck! I have an 1987 M1028 with ORD shackle flip, TC 4" up front and ORD crossover steering, in the Dallas area. Id like to see how that disc brake swap turns out, been planning that for mine.
What do you plan to use it for? Wheeling i assume?

 

[Rhino6678]

Heres the ole 12 valve in all her glory

I paid a little too much for the engine 1800.00 don't knowing if it ran or no turbo, vacuum pump, or power steering pump. Luckily enough my buddy rolled is 02 dodge and told me help me pull the injection pump off and you can have the turbo..

Also order some goodies from Kert at DIY4X

B52's installed

rear hangers and 64's installed

and how she sits now

 

[Cucv_M1008]

Looks awesome man!

 

[Rhino6678]

Man it should like I said just a mild build with 300 to 400hp with somewhere in the area of 800ft lbs , it should be pretty nasty with the doubler

Yea man I'll let you know , the truck will be mostly trail riding and hitting some mud, hopefully when I get it done we can do some wheeling

 

[Rhino6678]

here's the story on the engine. Bought the engine from a guy who said the engine wasn't holding oil pressure , so I've started to tear the engine apart and everything looks good so far. But since everything is torn down so why not rebuild the whole thing ....


And on a side note working at a part store helps out a bunch.... Back to the engine here's the P7100 175hp if I recall correctly

Also got 2 packages in , the ORD crossover steering and my engine mounts with cradle

Man ,thats gonna be a sweet truck when its all done!....Wish my 6.2 looked like the one you evicted..it looks brand new compared to both of mine,that look like they spent some time at the bottom of the atlantic,everything crusty and rotted on them...maybe I should move to Texas.....you never see a frame in that condition up here either...

Hahaha man the truck came from Pennsylvania that's after doing some cleaning , heres the old stuff I pulled off

And the motor only had 38000 miles but was trashed , 2 of the cylinders were washed and the camshaft was broken

Want extra lots of pics on how the 12V doesnt really fit but does anyway

In the 2nd gens with the new interior they changed the oil pressure guage. It just kinda read somewhere letting you know you had oil pressure. Also, I believe the sending units are a common failure.

The injectors has been a very large debate on between some of me and my friends. All my buddies what me to throw the biggest injectors I can and smoke every body out on the trails. But with a slightly upgraded factory turbo, big hp injectors are out of the question . I don't want to run high egts on the trails. What's probably going to happen is I'll end up on some 80-100hp injectors. Luckily enough I have a good friend that owns an injection shop that's going to give me the hook up with some injectors,turning the pump up and custom grind fuel plate..

Figured I'd throw a pic of my daily driver in to show that im a cummins man

2007.5 6.7 Lairmie mega cab....: Carli leveling kit w/ carli control arms and adjustable track bar , and bd steering box stabilizer on power wagon wheels and 37" open country's ... H&S mini max w/ 4" turbo back into flow pro muffler with egr and dpf deleted...for a 8500lbs truck she can get down
